Conservatives Shouldn't Drink and Drive Gay

Houston police have an incident report ID 32377, regarding an "INCIDENT INVOLVING A PROMINENT CITIZEN." The prominent citizen in question was Right-wing radio pundit Michael Berry, a fixture in the Houston area.

Berry goes into fairly typical right-wing rants on his show, including those which demand that some groups of Americans have their right curtailed for the betterment of society. Various sources in the Houston area say that Berry has gone into anti-gay rants on his show, but I will continue to to attempt to pursue that. I prefer firm facts and will report more if I can find it.

What we do know, from the police report, which I have in front of me, is that Michael Berry, was leaving a bar and hit a car while pulling out. The car belonged to the bouncer for the bar. This took place on the 2400 block of Converse. The bouncer saw an SUV back into his car. The bouncer, with a flashlight in hand, walked up to the car and got a good look at his face. He also got the vehicle's license place. The driver looked at the bouncer and fled the scene. Police ran the plate and it belongs to Berry. So the plate confirms Berry's car was there, the bouncer say Berry there and security video confirms his presences inside the gay club as well.

The bouncer said the driver had just left the gay club minutes before and security tape from within the club confirms that ultra-conservative Berry was inside the gay venue. Berry is refusing to say anything about the incident. The bouncer thinks that Berry is being silent because, "If you're going to stand up and say anti-gay things and be conservative and be Mr. Good Guy, and then when something happens that points you out and puts you in a place with the exact business that you aim to shut down, it kind of makes it seem like I need this to go away and I need it to go away quickly." Berry continues to refuse to speak to the incident. He would not only have to explain his visit to his right-wing listeners, but also to his wife.

Now this blog doesn't know how gay Mr. Berry may or may not be, but the evidence at least shows he can't drive straight. In case you have doubts about the club, here is one of their flyers. Berry knew exactly where he was going.
